how do you count your hours?

All i know is that no one counts their driving time.

Ex: Say your schedule is 9-5 but you have an hour for lunch (12-1) and an hour for admin work if needed 4-5 but usually are out the door at 4.

Is this considered an 8 or 6 hr workday?

What I’ve experienced is that jobs are based on a 40 hour week considered full time however will give you some admin time, mostly I’ve seen 4 hours. Lunch is not included in your workday I’ve seen some not take a lunch and leave earlier

I think this is a little oblique. Are you asking residents how they count work hours? Attendings? For what purpose? Contract?

For non-exempt employees, lunch and break are not paid time, so the "8" hour work day is actually 9.5 hours long (I guess this might be state dependent, but when I had a min. wage job it was 2 breaks + lunch for an 8-hour work day.)

This was specific for attendings. I have been hearing of jobs that include the lunch hour and possible admin time in their "40" hr time. I also know an IC who gets lunch plus admin time paid in their contract. Figured this wasn't common.

My job now is scheduled to be 40 hours per week, and that includes lunch and admin time. Face to face time with patients is definitely less than that.

Some of my classmates took jobs with 36 scheduled patient hours a week, that is 4 "admin" hours and no lunch. Fresh out of training so almost assuredly getting squeezed a bit by the big hospital system.
